Interesting part about that is that he's handing it off to a virtual outsider, someone who's only been with M$ for a year. How much of the Kool-Aid can he have drunk by now?

This is all preemptive also. He's not stepping down for another 2 years.

True, and I don't for a second believe that Bill will not continue to exert very strong influence over the direction of the company. Just noting that he is handing it over to an "outsider," which could signal a willingness to change the direction of the company a bit ... or not.

No see he will just give up the "Day to Day" job. Meaning the picture shoots, and designing the cover of the next system's box. They might even let the new guy make up all the online registration codes!
